The present invention provides a means to modulate gene expression in vivo in a manner that avoids problems associated with CRISPR endogenous protein knock-out or knock-in strategies and strategies that provide for correction, or alteration, of single nucleotides. The invention includes inserting into the genome a nucleotide encoding a heterobifunctional compound targeting protein (dTAG) in-frame with the nucleotide sequence of a gene encoding an endogenously expressed protein of interest which, upon expression, produces an endogenous protein-dTAG hybrid protein. This allows for targeted protein degradation of the dTAG and the fused endogenous protein using a heterobifunctional compound.
本发明提供了一种在体内调节基因表达的方法,避免了与CRISPR内源蛋白敲除或敲入策略以及提供单个核苷酸修正或改变的策略相关的问题。该发明包括将编码靶向蛋白(dTAG)的异双功能化合物的核苷酸插入基因组中,与编码感兴趣的内源表达蛋白的基因的核苷酸序列同框,表达后产生内源蛋白-dTAG杂交蛋白。这允许使用异双功能化合物对dTAG和融合的内源蛋白进行靶向蛋白降解。
